Founded in 1954, the National Sporting Library & Museum (NSLM) is located in Middleburg, the heart of Virginia’s beautiful hunt country. The inviting, 6-acre campus, world-class research Library, and fine art Museum highlight the rich heritage and tradition of country pursuits. Angling, horsemanship, shooting, steeplechasing, foxhunting, flat racing, polo, coaching, and wildlife are among the subjects one can explore in the institution’s general stacks, rare book holdings, archives, and art collection. The NSLM offers a wide variety of educational programs, exhibitions, and family activities throughout the year.
Every Wednesday at 2pm attendees will receive a personalized peek at traveling exhibitions, new acquisitions, or permanent collections pieces. No two talks are alike. Reservations are not required and admission is free.
The NSLM offers a variety of fun, educational tours to groups of all ages. Click "More Info" below to learn about our tour programs or call us about creating a custom tour, 540-687-6542 ext. 25.
